love me some Lori- easy to talk to- has a calming approach to helping find solutions that are best for you.

Reviewed November 2024

Lori has changed my life. I started seeing her at a low point in my life when I didn’t know how to deal with my emotions. Lori has been a constant pillar of support and trust for me over the past 3 years. I could not recommend her enough, she is the best therapist I have ever experienced. She brings insightful perspective and lovingly challenges my negative habits. I have grown in my self confidence, self acceptance, and self love due to our weekly sessions.

More about Lori

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana with over 18 years of experience. I have a particular interest and expertise in working with those touched by foster care and/or adoption. For the majority of my career, I have worked with children and teenagers. I enjoy working with these age groups and assisting them with navigating the often complex emotions that accompany adolescence. Also, I have worked extensively with families and couples. Many of these clients were in need of assistance with strengthening and improving their relationships, improving their communication, and managing the various stressors in their lives.

I strive to provide a warm, caring and supportive environment where my clients can work through obstacles, struggles and past traumas to reach a successful solution. I partner with each individual to help them achieve the life they desire. I work with each individual to identify and build upon their unique strengths and to find more positive and productive ways of communicating and problem solving.

Sometimes making the first step can be the most difficult one once an individual has decided to seek counseling. I am committed to providing a welcoming and compassionate setting so my client and I can develop a healthy and effective therapeutic relationship. I'm here to help.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mrs Arceneaux is very kind, genuine, thoughtful and very intelligent therapist. I could have put way more positive words about her in this review, so I put the ones that I feel the most about her work she has done with me. She has helped me tremendously and I look fwd to our meetings every week, although my punctuality hasn't been the best. She's been very patient and accomadating. Thank you very much.

I've only had a couple sessions with Lori so far, but I am enjoying each session. She listens carefully and has great suggestions when helping with some of my current struggles. She's calm and kind, I'd recommend her to others for sure!

Reviewed November 2021

Lori is just wonderful. She speaks to your soul with her very gentle voice and calm delivery of her expert opinion. In our first session, she really took time to draw out from me by asking appropriate questions and then, based her opinion in identifying what I’m going through. She would also constantly check on me and send me worksheets and reminders that would help.

I really appreciated that our first conversation ended with actual tasks for me to focus on over the week. My therapy sessions in the past often just left me feeling drained and overwhelmed from sharing all of my concerns without having something to work on or a way to focus my energy.
